I only post 72 dpi shots, but they were able to scale it down to a printable quality and still get a size they could use in the mag. The image ended up being roughly a 1/6th-1/4th page, so although they would have not been able to get a solid 300 dpi, they obviously got within printing standards...likely around 200.

I emailed them once, they have called me at home 6 times in two days including last night around 9:30pm. The caller is continuing up the exec ladder and I keep turning down their insulting offers. After each conversation I feel patronized, and they assume I have no clue to how the magazine/advertising business works, that is until I "prove" myself by not just explaining my day job, but dropping lingo that only somebody that actually DOES do my job would know. Both times I "proved" myself, their condescending attitude shifts quickly and they get more serious.

I came up with a fair offer last night after I hung up with them, and will share my expectation during the next call. I'm not wearing a neck brace and crying whiplash, I'm not out for free money, I don't expect the brass ring...I am being completely reasonable and fair. I have not told them what I want, only that I find their offers unacceptable and insulting. You would too if I told you what they were.

We'll see what happens.
